OPM K-12

SMMA's Project Management Group has managed over $1.8 billion of new and renovated school construction over the past two decades. Our approach to project management begins with transparency and effective communication: By keeping all stakeholders as informed throughout the process as possible, we capitalize on synergistic opportunities and bring projects to successful completions within budget and schedule.

More Than Just a Manager

We operate with an understanding that proper owner project management services require more than just managerial skills. Our value and approach stems from SMMA's multi-discipline composition. We staff a full range of architectural and engineering professionals under one roof, and can deploy them on target and without delay over the life of a project.

Adding Value, Delivering Results

We also provide other key professional services important to developing holistic and comprehensive plans, such as energy assessment, commissioning, facility assessment, and strategic master planning. Combined, this breadth of expertise provides our clients with a deep understanding of both the risks and risk-avoidance strategies crucial to a successful public school construction project.

Holbrook PreK-12 School

Setting a Precedent

The new school will be built on the current ball field of the existing junior/senior high school property; after construction, the old school will be demolished and replaced by a new football field and track complex. The project will be the first preK-12 school built in the Commonwealth with funding from the Massachusetts School Building Authority.

Peebles Elementary School

Assessing Options, Guiding Progress

The project is currently in the feasibility study phase, a process that has necessitated analyzing multiple school sizes and grade configurations—including a 250-student kindergarten through grade 4 school at the present Peebles site, as well as the consolidations of two schools into either a 725-student pre-kindergarten through grade four school or an 885-student pre-kindergarten through grade five school.

Athol Community Elementary School

Managing Success

SMMA was chosen to provide owner’s project management services for the Athol-Royalston Regional School District in 2012, on the construction of a new elementary school. The District will replace three undersized, aging neighborhood schools in Athol, a town of approximately 11,500 in Worcester County, with a new construction serving approximately 545 children in pre-kindergarten through grade 4.
